But I grew up in a classic car family. In fact, our wedding was host to about 5 classic cars – and I don’t mean Mustangs and Malibu’s, I mean cars like a ’56 Chevy truck, a ’35 Packard Limo (the bridal party arrived in style), a ’38 Buick sedan and the like; a little off the main street of classic cars. So, as a result of that component of my childhood I do have an eye for classic cars. But, thats about it, just an eye – no real desire to work on one or even to go out of my way to own one. Now, if we are talking about 1950-something or earlier era wooden boats its another story. I have always thought that restoring a classic boat would be a lot of fun and would result in a great relational recreational opportunity. I grew up on power boats and my parents still have one. But something about a wood boat with a bull nosed bow, short windshield and odd seating arrangements just gets my imagination running. So when my dad called me to tell me he had bought one for its engine I thought it was an opportunity worth investigating. So, I am investigating. Am I crazy? Or is this just cool and way different? Maybe both, but I will keep you posted. You can see the other pictures of this boat in my photos page.
